Country:

My System

Default Play all files in a directory

Suggestion:
Insert Play all files in a directory -option either to the left navigation (on bluetwo-skin) or under ..\ (Parent directory) -option just above the actual files IF there are several playable files available.

If anyone's used Zoomplayers file navigator they'll know what I mean.

Currently you have to make a playlist and it's not very handy when you have to delete/clear playlist after every watched directory.

Found out there's also another post here little like this:

I agree, having moved to MP from GBPVR this is one of those things I miss.

'Play All' on left Nav menu, with option to inc. sub directories and an option to shuffle too.

PS MP is superb, very impressed with the applicaiton and the whole (dev & users) community too.

Why not just press 'play' on your remote when highlighting the folder you want to play all in? Works for me.

Thought about that, but it does not work consistantly throughout MP menu's (needs to be sorted).

Try this with a movie folder and nothing happens (extreme example), fine in music, but the word play does spring to mind, so if i select a folder or a file, Hit Play button, i would expect it to play whatever the content.

Personally cannot see any need for extra menu, just a consistant GUI.
